WATER MAIN BREAK RESULTS IN BOIL ADVISORY FOR CENTRAL PARK AREA

A water main break Tuesday morning
has the City of Bossier City issuing a boil advisory for residents in the Central
Park neighborhood. The advisory encompasses an area north of Central Park
Drive, south of Southview Drive east of Rodney Street, and west of Bonn Street.
Central Park Elementary School is included in the advisory and has already been
notified.

The
advisory is being issued due to the water pressure in the affected area
dropping below state required levels while city crews worked to repair the broken
water main which occurred early this morning along Central Park Drive. Due to
state regulations whenever a boil advisory is issued it must be made public by
advising local news media.

The
advisory is a precautionary measure and recommends those in the affected area to
voluntarily boil their water before consuming it until the health department
can test the water. The advisory pertains only to water used for consumption. Again
the advisory is only a precautionary measure. This is a boil advisory, not a
boil order.
